Yeah, yeah, everyone has a list, and so does Forbes Magazine. It recently ranked all the major universities in the United States on campus quality, bang for the buck, and similar criteria unrelated to SEC football. So how did our state’s top two universities score? The University of Alabama’s national ranking was 264th, while Auburn University’s was 195th.

Let’s hope both schools can do better on the field, which after all is so much more important than academics.
